So what did she finally do? Worked in the local school kitchen and brought up all the children. Can we tell her to sit home, after all 'uththiyOgam is purusha lakshanam'? Then we won't have 6 mature adults in the society today (and my friend later took care of his dad's addiction after he grew up and employed, by treating him in a clinic), but possibly criminals.
So, the decision to work or not has to be on a case-by-case basis. There cannot be a blanket statement.
but this is not proper example(IMHO).....
Seven social sins:
1.Politics without principles
2.Wealth without work
3.Pleasure without conscience
4.Knowledge without character
5.Commerce without morality
6.Science without humanity
7.Worship without sacrifice

sarna_blr, I agree this is not an example to support women going to job or seeking a career. Just to dispel the myth that 'u is purusha lakshanam'. Agreed it's the respo for man to provide for his family, in general. However, some "extreme" statements need countering by "extreme" situations And if some is happy to be 'avalakshanam', life has to still go on for other family members

What I wish is enlightenment for women, encouraging home environment for children & elders, pampered life in the shade & safety of home for women( already 'gifted' with enough physical discomforts by nature why aggravate it with all that added strain?). AND peace in the lives of men!!!

'pootti vaiththal' can easily be done by statements like below:
-women, be at home in your little kingdom as outside home is man's kingdom
-women, be happy about child-rearing at home and kitchen activites. May be read, surf, watch TV etc but never worry about any activity outside - not even charitable work
-women, working and earning money is not for you. It's only for men to be engaged in
All the above are figurative lock & key stuff. To work or not work depends upon ones situation and INDIVIDUAL CHOICE. I may not know the best situation for "Mrs Lakshmi" or "Miss Meena" as much as they do
(Disclaimer - names are just generic examples, doe s not refer to any individual)
well said...
